Its not that I don't want a solution here, but this has been something that has long bothered me, sufficient I want to eventually see this turn into a future-EAPI proposal. I think if I was to say there is something we can do today for this, I'd use a non-use variable to regulate it, expressly so it *cant* be used in SRC_URI or DEPEND perl-module.eclass has such a feature already, if an end user specifies DIST_TEST_OVERRIDE="do parallel network", certain tests stop being disabled ( though doing this globally will turn on a lot more tests that are currently disabled for non-network related reasons, and force parallelism where its not warranted, so said feature is still a poor model to adopt verbatim in a global way ) But trying to decide on a shared ENV var that has default mechanics and default implications and is enforced by portage quickly gets into GLEP/EAPI territory anyway.
